Hi everyone. It has been a big year for Open Source Software, and we want to keep that momentum going with upcoming events.
Lovely to see people this month at our second Tuesday meeting, preparing for future workshops; and at PLUG-in-the-Pub this past Wednesday.
A nod to the Free Software Foundation, turning 40 in October. We have all felt the frustration of proprietary software blocking access, breaching privacy, and becoming deprecated. A lot of progress has been made to end these frustrations and they are encouraging LibreLocal and other events over the year to celebrate.
Upcoming Events
Keep your calendar clear for these events.
June 2025Second Sunday 2025-06-08 PLUG+POSHTIME: 12:00 -- 16:00

On Ubuntu 23.04
Install ansible with apt install ansible
Install gnome-boxes to manage VMs.
Create a Debian 12 VM via unattended install:virt-install --connect qemu:///session --name edison --vcpus 2 --memory 2048 --disk size=20 --install debian12 --unattended profile=jeos,user-login=debian,admin-password-file=<(echo secret),user-password-file=<(echo secret)
(tried 10G, but that resulted in a too-small root partition)
Wait for VM install to complete. It should end powered off.
Start VM with:virsh --connect qemu:///session start edison
